As far as a back-up keeper is concerned, I think Kevin Cuthbert from Ayr would be ideal. Said recently he wants to move in to full-time football and will be on next to nothing I reckon. Easily their POTY and hasn't put a foot wrong.

I played in the same schools team as Kevin, nice guy and the right sort of character for the dressing room. superb shot stopper but his kicking is poor and doesn't command his area. I think st J fans would back that up however players improve Sammy being the perfect example.

On a pay as you play deal may not be a bad signing. I think a fit and focused Garry O'connor would nt be a bad signing either, as long as he came attitude free.

I'm not convinced that pay as you play actually works. The budget for the player still has to be committed. Fair enough you can bin him if he has a serious injury, but for such a key and expensive player it would still be a massive gamble.

As a person, I agree, something not quite right but as a player I'd love to see him in a Saints strip.

Certainly has the talent to be a decent player although maybe not the common sense.

I agree with you, faraway. Not a bad player. Don't know how he could be described as a complete liability.

Marcus Haber - St. Johnstone

Mohamed Chalali - Aberdeen

Andy Little - Rangers

Billy McKay - ICT

Shane Sutherland - ICT

James Keatings - St. Johnstone

Danny Uchechi - Aberdeen

I know maybe some of them on the list may be unrealistic, but likes of Andy Kirk & Grégory Tadé have scored an alright amount in shite teams. if we are able to keep likes of McGowan and McLean a and would have a choice of forwads like Thompson, Hasselbaink (hopefully) Guy and Kirk/Tadé could be quite good. have likes of McGowan, Imrie linking up with them from Midfield. Either of the two of them could be good to take the place of Thomo as he puts his all in every match and gets f**ked near the end, we have no one that can take his place that is strong or could hold a ball up.

If we get a striker sorted I would say all we maybe need is a back up centre back and someone to play wide right. On Sunday i thought we were very narrow in midfield. Imrie gave us width on the left when he was on (as Carey wasn't) but we had no one moving or helping VZ and I don't think Teale is the answer to help.
